    Personally, I’ve always preferred the first half. if you like crazy change ups, I gotta recommend Black Sabbath and the song Symptom of the Universe. It starts with the heaviest most brutal rhythms of 1975 and then a little after 4 minutes later it somehow abruptly becomes chillin on the beach sipping some margaritas to finish the song singing about togetherness and love and just being a good person to all mankind

    The only Dorvack kits I’ve built were the odd little armor suit kits. I actually had fun with them. They remind me of Ma. K stuff a bit

    I think it boils down to "blame the cartoon." The truck's animation model doesn't have round tanks. And, of course, neither does Prime's robot mode. Unlike a lot of other recent offerings from 3Ps (and I think MP-44, but don't remember) SS86 Prime uses the same fuel tanks in both modes. FWIW, I do prefer round tanks in truck mode (and in the case of SS86, I wish they weren't so protruding). But I hate how they were implemented on Earthrise/Netflix/Laser Optimus. If they secured in place in truck mode it'd be fine, but you just fold them out and hope for the best, inevitably pushing them back in as you handle them.

    Necro-bump for affirmation I recieved a Yamato 1/60 VF-1A DYRL Brownie today and didn’t realize that I had bought a V1 (due to my own ignorance). I had only seen reviews of the V2 on YouTube, so everything pointed to buying this thing. Boy, what a mistake. To say I’m disappointed is just a massive understatement; this thing is a total turd. Putting it lightly. I guess I’ve been spoiled by the Big 1/48 Yamatos, Bandai DX’s, Chunky boys, and other models. If I look at this thing wrong, it’s going to fall apart. Right out of the box, the right leg fell off due to a floppy/sloppy thruster slider lock, the right wing hinge was broken, the landing light then fell off the starboard wing, floppy foot/exhaust, I didn’t realize that the canopy wasn’t hinged (similar to the HMR’s), the decals had a taped on “rescue me” yellow arrow onto the sheet, the landing gear completely flopping around and not staying put, plastic tires, yellowing gear doors, yellowing missiles, translucent plastic everywhere, screw covers falling apart, NO PILOT, WTF????, and this thing was “Brand New” from a reputable EBay seller. I guess I finally got bit. Hard lesson to learn over $100 USD. I haven’t been able to find a V2 at a decent price, and when I say decent, not $300 decent. Just bummed over this purchase and thanks for coming to my talk

    @jenius Ok thanks! I guess they want to do more bigger and better things, But since the still completed the Vermilion Platoon they haven't dropped the S.D.F.M HM-R line yet!

    Man... I forget that the name of the god of the symbiotes sounds similar to "naked" in Portuguese

    Well part of its sheen is in the glossiness of the plastic, so you'll definitely lose some of it if you topcoat it. If you're really concerned about retaining its current look, you can always just pop the boosters off and not coat them. I topcoated my Revival 25F so you can see how it looks here. I used a semi-gloss finish instead of going full matte though.

    HMR was run by a huge Macross fan in the early days but projects rotate within Bandai and focuses shift so the line has just been plodding along for a while... Nothing obscure like scout regults or destroids.

    So I take it that there are only two other destroys that Bandai released in HM-R ADR-04-MKX Destroyed Defender & MBR-07-MKII Destroyed Spartan with the SDR-04 Destroyed Phalanx & MBR-04 Destroyed Tomahawk still outstanding? wonder what's the hold up?

    @pengbuzz That looks awesome! It almost sounds like the real thing too😁 Nice recovery and the rebuild is MUCH more reliable than stock - I'm sure! Nice score at the market too! @Goodman Models Thanks! Are you going to weather it at all (minor of course). @F18LEGIOSS2 Great restoration! Those old toys deserve the love😉 - MT

    Hey gang I’ve finally gotten my paws on an armoured parts for Alto after stalking Mandarake for quite some time now, an awesome kit but I see that the grey plastic is real glossy for my taste. The red looks right. Has anyone tried top coat treatment on this particular armour set, If so does the metallic paint on the boosters get dull and lose its metallic sheen thus looking like matte grey? Your input is much appreciated.😊

    My understanding is that the toys were expensive so they were marketed to adults with the premise they were easily modified like models. Paint it like any Valkyrie from the show!
